WELCOME TO THE 3D SMART WORLD

The main aim of the project is to implement a transnational management structure that will deliver a new transformative business approach to innovation and entrepreneurship in three different economic sectors: Creative Industries, Green Economy and ICT. The role of the partners (educational and political institutions) is to develop and implement this management structure into everyday reality, supporting the regional and transnational growth of SMEs.

The creation of the management structure is to be achieved through so called regional SMART points (every region will establish at least one SMART point). These points (physical - offices) will provide motivation, trainings, counseling and other related support for emerging entrepreneurs.

The basic element of each of the SMART point is a SMART Trainer - a person, who has knowledge and motivation to foster the entrepreneurial spirit in the target groups, with special focus on combination of Creative Industries, Green Economy and ICT. The networking of the individual SMART points into a transnational network will provide strong support for the SMART Trainer. She or he can utilize the knowledge, abilities and potential of other existing SMART points and hence provide even better support for the entrepreneurs.

Another important activity related to the project is the implementation the so called SMART Campus (in 2014). The seven regional SMART points supported by their SMART Trainers will launch regional competitions for emerging entrepreneurs to evaluate the business plans they create. The best 5 entrepreneurs per region will go to the SMART Campus - a one week event organized by the project, to improve their business plans under the strong support of international experts and SMART Trainers.

The final phase of the project will ensure one of its main goals - to institutionalise the project outputs and secure its sustainability. As mentioned before, one of the main goals of the project is to set up a permanent structure supporting emerging entrepreneurs. The scope of the project is therefore far beyond its simple implementation.
